1. Learning Objectives
- Distinguish between a character's external "Want" and their internal "Need" as foundational tools in the writer's toolkit.
- Articulate how a character's "Ghost" (a past wound) creates the "Lie" they believe, which in turn drives their actions.
- Analyze the symbiotic relationship between internal conflict (a character's psychological struggle) and external conflict (the plot's obstacles).
- Create a one-page character profile that outlines a character's Ghost, Lie, Want, and Need, forming a coherent psychological engine.
